When To Buy Glossier Play Because Your Minimal Makeup Routine Needs More Glitter & Shimmer

Since its inception in 2014, Glossier has steadily built its reputation as a beauty brand that offers a minimalist repertoire of simple, classic products — from the fan favorite Milky Jelly Cleanser to Cloud Paint Cream Blush. However, Glossier just launched Glossier Play, a fun spinoff brand whose selection of offerings focuses on bold, bright pops of color and new formulas, including glitter. This is surprising, new aesthetic territory for the normally minimalist Glossier, but it's beautifully executed.

The major difference with this offshoot brand is that everything, like the adventurous colors to the ultra shimmery textures, is so unexpected. Glossier offering a glitter gel might have seemed out of the realm of possibility before. But fans now have more options to express themselves through color cosmetics with Glossier Play.

Glossier Play arrived on March 4 with four high-impact products. There is a total of 28 shades across the core beauty products, along with two tools. More specifically, Glossier Play debuts with 14 eyeliners, six lip lacquers, four highlighters, four glitter gels, a sharpener, and an applicator.

Glossier loyalists will recall that the brand originally kicked off with only four products. The cycle is repeating itself in an entirely new but just as stunning way.

More colors, more textures, and more products are planned for the future, according to the press release received by Bustle. This initial assortment is merely a selection of what's to come — and it's incredible.

Glossier Play items are available for individual purchase via the brand's website. However, you are invited to mix and match and create your own Glossier "Playground." It's bundle and for just $60, you get one of each product, plus both tools, all the while saving $15.

3. Glitter Gelée Multigrade Paillettes

Glitter can be tricky to apply. But with Glossier's Glitter Gelée, it's so simple. The one-step product comes in four color options, wears comfortably, will stay put for 12 hours, and adds a jeweled finish to skin. Glossier does not recommend using this product on or around lips.
